Coffee Buzz Cocktail

Part delicious boozy drink and part dessert, this cocktail is a must-try for all coffee lovers. A fun twist on a martini with a white chocolate rim (yes, really!), this is the grown-up milkshake you didn’t know you needed in your life.

Wanna try? Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients for one cocktail:

• 1oz vodka
• 3/4oz Baileys
• 3/4oz Kahlua 
• 1/2oz simple syrup
• 1/2oz half and half
• 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, at room temperature
• 1/4oz finely grated white chocolate (for garnish – optional)
• 3 coffee beans (for garnish – optional)

Preparation:

• If decorating the rim with white chocolate, finely grate the white chocolate in a small plate. Fill another small plate with water and dip the rim of a coupe glass in the water. Keep the rim down and transfer it into the chocolate, dipping and turning until the chocolate adheres to the rim. 
• To make the cocktail, combine all of the ingredients in a shaker filled with ice.  Shake well until very cold, then pour into the prepared glass. Garnish with coffee beans and serve immediately.

These are so good, we bet you’ll find it hard to have just one!

Espresso Martini

When a cocktail tastes good, wakes you up, AND gets you in a party mood, you know you’re in for a fun night! To start the evening on the right foot, or served right after dinner, this decadent martini is easy to make and yet feels so chic. Oh, and we like ours like James Bond—shaken, not stirred.

Wanna try? Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients for one cocktail:

• 3oz vodka
• 2/3oz Kahlua
• 2/3oz espresso, cooled
• 3 coffee beans for garnish (optional)

Preparation:

• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, place the vodka, the Kahlua, and the espresso.
• Shake vigorously about 10 times before straining in a martini glass. Scrape out the foam inside as needed. Without a bit of foam, the coffee beans won’t float.
• Garnish with a few coffee beans before serving immediately.

Easy to whip up and yet so fancy!
